love it – Went there for the first time last weekend and loved it! Out on a date Friday nite and the bar across had a loong wait, so we decided to try it. our waiter was great, gave good suggestions and it was cozy and quiet until it got a bit later and louder. Loved it so much I went back the next night with a friend. Again, good service and a good crowd. It's my new favorite bar!
Good bar menu, friendly staff, nice atmosphere – I love this place. I honestly don't know what the other reviewer was talking about when he said any of the employees were rude. I've never experienced that and in fact, have only had very friendly and fairly quick service there. I love their bar menu - pretty extensive for snacks and portions are generous for everything pretty much being around $8. I love that the cushy area on the main floor in back is almost always open for casual chat w/ your friends if you come w/ a larger... read more
Pretentious, bad service, over-priced – I really gave this place a try.... not worth it at all. Every bartender/waitress I came into contact with was rude, standoffish and generally angry. The bartender on Tuesday nights is a $%#. We ventured upstairs to "trivia night" (on Tuesdays)... the bartender upstairs was equally rude... Don't bother with this place. It's the kind of place that's giving Ballard a bad name nowadays. There are many more bars on the same street that are much friendlier, cheaper and have a better atmosphe... read more
new hotspot – pool tables, cool vibe and good bartenders round out this new place. i like the location as you can go to other bars in the area. good singles scene here for people
Ooh...this place is cool – I like this place. It's the perfect, more upscale place to have post-dinner drinks. The brick and the lighting make you feel relaxed, homey and urban and like you're tucked away in a spot that not many other people know about. The drinks are good, and BalMar takes a well-meaning stab at creating an interesting drink menu. Perfect for a date, or after-work-professional drinks too. A little more expensive, but I'm happy not to pay that money for a meat-market like the Red Door.
BalMar - New Ballard favorite! – My wife and I stopped in here after dining at Volterra for a nightcap. The place was great looking and the staff was attentive...and also easy to look at. The drinks were VERY good and reasonably priced. We had just eaten so I can't comment on the food but I will definetly be back to try it. A nice place to have a drink where you can still hear well enough to have a conversation.
Raising the bar without ruining Ballard – The food is excellent, the staff is on the ball and the drinks are above average. The only complaint I have is that they are not open for lunch. I would eat there 4 days a week.
Great service! – Tonight we celabrated a girfriends birthday at Balmar. First of all she called a couple of days ago to let them know that she was expecting about 15 people. They readily accomidated her by reserving an area without question on a Friday night. Our service was great! I have worked in the service insustry for many years so I consider myself to be very picky in regards to performance and I have nothing but great things to say about our experience. Our waitress even keep separate tabs without us asking and I was ... read more
Where young, good-looking things sip classic cocktails in a remodeled 1920s Ballard department store. – The Scene Exposed brick, wood-beamed ceilings and original fixtures lend this classy cocktail lounge a remodeled industrial feel befitting its lengthy history. Downstairs, young professionals recline on low black leather sofas; upstairs, they gather around the lounge's two pool tables or occupy small tables near the bar. Huge second-floor picture windows give a bird's eye view of downtown Ballard. The staff is warm and fri... read more
